� °� <br /> � o 0 <br /> ��b� - C ITY of ORONO <br /> � � � � <br /> �� �,'�' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> L�kESH��'� NO. _ �- �D � � � <br /> FINDINGS <br /> 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2348. <br /> � <br /> � t <br /> 2. The property is located in the LR-1B Single Family Lakeshore Residential <br /> Zoning District requiring 1 acre in area. The properiy consists of 57,200 s.f. or <br /> 1.13 acre. . <br /> 3. The percentage of hardcover proposed for the residence and driveway in the 75' <br /> � to 250' lakeshore setback is 25.9% where 25% is allowed. <br /> � 4. The property meets area and width requirements. Allowing the requested <br /> hardcover variance would set a negative precedent in allowing a hazdcover <br /> variance for new construction on a vacant lot of record that meets all zoning <br /> • requirements and would not be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the City's <br /> Community Management Plan and Zoning Ordinance. <br /> 5. A residence of reasonable proportions can be constructed on the lot without the <br /> granting of a hardcover variance. The residence as proposed includes a <br /> substantial driveway and two decks. The hardcover requirement can be <br /> met with minor adjustments to these amenities. <br /> 6. The plight of the applicant is not due to a hardship unique to the property, but <br /> rather the desire to create decks and a driveway that increase the hardcover <br /> amount over what is allowed by code. <br /> 7. The City Council finds that the conditions existing�on this property are not . <br /> peculiar to it and apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br /> �granting the variances would merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, it <br /> is not necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; it is not <br /> necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would not <br /> be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive <br /> Plan of the City. <br /> � <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
